I would like to offer anyone bringing there boat to erie to give me a call to check on conditions and the latest Fishing reports. I would hate for someone to make a long trip and not do well here at erie. It looks like it will will be a early season. I will be more than happy to give you my best guess anytime. I can always use another Fishing friend!!! So before you travel feel free to give me a call. Thanks jim
I'm in SE Wisconsin, and made my first and only trip to Lake Erie last year. Solo, in my 17' Lund…. and it was only possible because of the help from many on this site. Jim, your reports and such last year went a long way as part of that homework I did for months in advance.
Your offer is fantastic - and while no one can look too far ahead into what conditions will be, I surely hope to take you up on the offer. Heck, some radio conversation you were involved in last year helped put me on a few fish, so thank you again, and in advance! I'm already dreaming about another trip earlier this spring if mom nature gives me an opening at the right time. Heck, I'd love to do it in early March, but expect I'll wait.
Who's this Skipper9 guy? ;)
Anytime my friend. I am always available to anyone...Quote:

Skipper Jim my # 513_623_9975 thanks Mike.iam learning how to use this site .I may not do things right.sorry in advance.mike
I just start making trips last fall to Erie I would consider myself a former bass fisherman converting to perch and walleye. I fished all last fall for perch with my young boys and purchased 4 trolling rods to give walleye a shot this spring. Don't know much about what I am doing so I will be checked my in with you a few times this spring if that's ok. I just got a small 21' fish/ski boat and really just don't want to get skunked out there. If I can produce a fun experience for my two boys who are under 10yrs of age I have fishing partners for life. We have already accomplished fishing managing the erie waves and they still had fun perch fishing so hopefully I can get them hooked on walleye fishing too. Look forward to hearing from you in future.
Just wanted to make a quick post to say thanks Jim for helping everyone on here as much as you do. I live in SE Michigan and usually just drive down to fish Ohio water, got a new ranger this year to use can't wait.
We booked 2 of your boats for my bachelor party last June and it was a blast with professional knowledgeable captains and crew.
I urge anyone new that wants to learn to book a charter with people like Jim and Juls (I'm sure there are others) that invest their time into posting and helping on here, thank you all very much for your contribution to the sport and heloping experienced and newbies alike!
I also wanted to say thanks to Capt. Jim, you've been a great source of information to many!
I normally bring my boat several time a year but I'm trying to get a group together to try and get out with Jim hog hunting this spring.
Freddie, he is a captain on Lake Erie... He drives a blue boat with a white hard top. He is kinda short... maybe 5' tall, and has long hair and a Duck Dynasty beard...Quote:

I didn't learn anything or catch any fish but Jim became a great friend (I am just teasing Jim - we did great). I went again the following year, and stayed in contact with Jim. If dad and I didn't have them going, I could text Jim and he was willing to share some info to put us on some fish - pretty amazing for a captain to do that! I guess I don't remember who's idea it was for me to start working as a first mate - his or mine, but the rest is history. Jim and I like to have fun with our groups and I'm happy to help increase our catch rates - that last part I made up..its just one of the jokes on the boat.
I just wanted to say thanks Jim for everything you do for everyone. I've never met you but I can tell you're one heck of a guy. I would be lost without your help you post on this site. I've only fished Lake Erie for a few years now and I have so much to learn. I've had success but only because of this forum. I struggle more than I succeed but that's just the inexperience and the learning curve. Good luck and safe fishing this year. Thanks again for your generosity of sharing information to help guys like me.
Thanks to all of you that have contacted me. I have enjoyed every conversation with all of you. I love talking fishing!!! As always please free to call anytime.
Skipper would you say mid March be good for the females sence.weather has been warm and no ice.thanks mike
Remember you told me.i need my camera for big female pics.just kidding mike
